green tomatoes are large enough
for the green tomato market
she helps to load them and hauls
three or four pick-up truck loads
of them a day to the receiving
station at Rawlinsville. Some
times this means waiting in line
an hour or two to get unloaded.
When they are fully ripe she
sets up a road-side stand and
sells on the average of 50 to 60
quart boxes or as high as 90
boxes a day.

Mrs Roy and the late Mr Black

Township, was born and raised
on the farm and was taught to

never permitted to drive the
tractors. Nevertheless, after

Why I switched
my loan business
to the Key Bank
I didn’t like the cost of borrowing
elsewhere, so I tried County Farmers.
They were courteous and friendly and
I got a quick OK on the loan I wanted.
Moreover, the cost was detailed so
I had a clear understanding of the
interest charges. I recommend the
Key Bank to anyone who wants to
borrow money at low cost ■ ■ > and
without a lot of red tape.

Guard Against Accidental Poisoning
Always destroy prescription drugs once an
illness is over by flushing them down the
toilet
Keep all drugs out of children’s reach even
if it means locking the medicine cabinet.
Never make medicine sound tempting to a
child by telling him it is candy or a treat,
even if it’s candy-flavored. Start early to dis
tinguish between the two.
Never give or take a medicine a record of the number, date,
in the dark, or without reading and exact amount. It’s worth
and re-reading the label and in- the time it takes to fill in the
structions. stub.
Make sure all bottles, cartons
and cans are clearly labeled and
that no potential poisons are
stored in food-type containers
Check all areas accessible to
children under-the-counter ca
binets, low tables, dressing ta
bles, storage spaces used for
garden and cleaning supplies—
for possibly dangerous materials
For Your Records
Check stubs are your record
of the checks you write. That’s
why you should fill in the stub
each time you write a check

need to stop payment you’ll have
Poor Investment
Household appliances you
seldom use aren’t always a good
investment. To get full value
from the money you’ve invested,
try to use the appliance in as

learn to use and care for the
appliance correctly. The manu
facturer’s instruction that come
with the appliance are your best
guide for the use and care of his
pioduct.
Dress Fabric and Lining
Must Be Compatible
For you to be satisfied with a
dress you buy or make, you need
to be able to wash or dryclean it
satisfactorily. This means the
dress fabric and lining must
have the same shrinkage or
stretch to them If the dress or
fabric doesn’t have a shrinkage
label, you need to find out what
the fiber is for clues on how to
care for it.
